thought practicable TO arrange fixed
courses of study for the different &C.
partmonts before Che opening Of the
college for the reason. that we c3alI /
not adhere to these courses with any
the first year. Studeuts
will enter at all stages of advancement
in their studies; Che Faculty Will ar
range and classify them jus, whore
they belong giving them credit for
what they have studied This win be
the best possible arrangement for the
students themselves. for they can enter
whatever classes they wish and advance
without any hindranee. Let no ono
hesitate to come because We have not I
published fixed courses Of instruction: /
for We will arrange the classes to suit /.
the circumstances of the students. and |
this will include students prepared to
enter the regular college classes. No
better opportunities VIII be enjoyed by
students any where.
